After all, he’s Chip Kelly, and he’s experienced nothing but success…

View image | gettyimages.com To say the Philadelphia Eagles needed Sunday’s 24-17 win over the New York Jets is an understatement. A September non-conference game doesn’t have the same impact as a Week 17 rivalry with the New York Giants, but if the Eagles make the playoffs, an argument could be made that this game saved the season. The Chip Kelly doubters were everywhere after an 0-2 start that saw…
